How many oz of breastmilk per feeding is your LO eating?

Question

Just wondering if now that theyre 6months-ish if they should be getting more breastmilk or staying the same if they are also eating solids?

Answer

My little guy is 5 months now born October 22nd he eats 4oz every two hours 7/8 times a day, introducing solids in a couple weeks so i figure the solids will replace 4 oz a day ill give him solids and 2oz of milk in the morning and night so basically hed be down a bottle

Answer

And yes, solids shouldn’t really change the amount of breastmilk/formula they drink before 1. That’s why we will offer the milk first, then solids for that meal.

Answer

My guy was born out 23. I nurse when he wakes up, but he usually drinks 5 oz about 3 hours later, then another 2 ounces 1.5 hours later as a little top off before nap, then 3 hours later another 5 ounces. He nursed 2 more times before bed (both sides around 5 and then 1 side at 6:15 before bed). Then he will nurse at 9 pm and once more overnight. 
All to say, I have no idea how much he drinks but it’s at least 12 oz while I’m at work (about 8 hours). 
We haven’t started solids but when we do, we will still offer the bottle/nurse first. We plan to start solids closer to 6 months.

Answer

I was told same amount of breast milk and solids shouldn’t be used to supplement breast milk or formula at this point. My daughter has 4 oz bottles when I’m at work and I nurse at home. Our pediatrician said that amount probably won’t change.
